Rose Boteh

The piece

Rose Boteh sets rows of tiny boteh, the teardrop paisley of Persian design, across a dusty rose field that shifts softly in tone as light moves over the pile. A wide camel and sand border carries a trailing vine between narrow olive and gold guard stripes, framing the field like a mount around a print. It suits a bedroom, a reading room or a dining room with warm wood.
